FIXTURES AND INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Island Lights Island lights provide a single-fixture option for lighting across kitchen countertops, game tables or other rectangular spaces. While spaced pendants require two or three wiring boxes, an island light requires only one to illuminate the same expanse. An island light can be used as task lighting or as a visual centerpiece and sole source of ambient light in a space.
